/ Will POV /

I just told Tessa the bitter sweet news. She will live, but we don't know the repercussions.

The thing is......... I haven't told Tessa the worst news. When the demon attacked, his claws had raked her stomach. I didn't know how severe it was until now. The claws of the demon had punctured Tessa's now healing stomach so badly, she will never be able to support a fetus. In other words.

Tessa and I can never have kids. Never have a family. Never wake up in the middle of the night to feed our baby. Well, maybe I won't miss that....

"Tess, I need to ummm talk to you." Will states uncertainly.

"What is it Will?" I ask curious to what is making Will so nervous.

"Well........ you will never bear a child." Will says. I stare at him, hoping he's just trying to pull a fast one on me. But I know from the look in his eyes he wouldn't joke about something like this.

"Ok." I simply reply. Will tells me how it happened. I try to take it all in.

My palms start to sweat as the news registers. I just discovered that locked away in my heart in a small cubby hole, I was counting on starting a family with Will. In fact, I was possibly looking forward to it.

And I guess that will never happen.
